Oysters are something that I always enjoy, though I rarely make them at home since they take a bit of effort but for a special occasion like Valentine's Day they are definitely worth it! You really cannot go wrong with raw oysters but I like them even more when they are baked with butter and garlic and if you throw in some spinach and bacon things get even better! Oysters Rockefeller is an oyster dish where the oysters are topped with a mixture of spinach, butter and garlic along with a crispy bread crumb topping and it is surprisingly easy to make at home. Oysters can be a little challenging to shuck but once you get them open everything else is easy, you pretty much just need to melt the butter, wilt the spinach, place it in the oysters, top with bread crumbs and bake! Of course I like to add a little bacon to the mix, and who doesn't? These Oysters Rockefeller are a great way to start off your Valentine's Day dinner and who knows where it will go from there!

I made these a couple nights ago. Delicious! My husband, a true Cape Codder, did the shucking. A friend of ours picked the oysters himself, so they were so fresh! The only thing I left out was cayenne, salt & pepper, because the recipe doesn't say when to add it. Would have been a nice kick to it, so next time I will add it to the spinach mixture. Thanks!

I bought some oysters on sale (not in the shell) today and decided to try this recipe. It did not disappoint! I put them in a muffin tin since they weren't in the shell - delicious! My daughter wants the recipe - that's a big, big compliment! :) Keeper for sure!

I came to realize that my meals were boring and that I had been eating the same few dishes over and over again for years. It was time for a change! I now spend my free time searching for, creating and trying tasty new recipes in my closet sized kitchen.
